Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The female figures are by far the most prominent objects in the design as they fill two-thirds of the poster's space.
2. The significance of the salad oil is minimized by shrinking the product into two small bottles confined in the poster's upper corners while the poured bottle is set against the woman's billowing skirt, obscuring a view of its label.
3. The elaborate tresses of the women's hair flow into curvilinear shapes that completely fill the design space, competing visually with lettering and graphics representing the actual product, as do the billowing forms and folds of the women's dresses.
